Imaam al-Shaafi’i Rahimahullaah said: ‘There is nobody except that he has someone who loves him and someone who hates him. So if that’s the case, let a person be with the people who are obedient to Allaah `Azza Wa Jall.’

The Greensville Trust hereby presents eager students with another blessed opportunity to study at the feet of some of the prophetic heirs and their students for a period of ten days during the prophetic month of Sha'bān. Students will be afforded opportune moments to acquire knowledge of the sacred, purify their hearts and affix their feet upon the soil of the religion of God, exalted be He.

VenueThe Welsh Language and Heritage Centre, Nant Gwrtheyrn, is located in an old granite-quarrying village on the Llyn Peninsula. the whole village was bought in the late 1970s with the intention of transforming it into a Language Centre.

AccommodationAccommodation is situated in the former quarrymen cottages, which includes a lounge, bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. All students will be sharing a cottage with at least 5 other course participants, with some of the students expected to sleep on the floor due to a lack of adequate bed space.

FamiliesOnly one cottage will be allocated towards the housing of families who desire to live together during the course. Priority will be given to larger families who are unable to live in the ‘singles’ accommodation essentially due to the size of their family. Each of the four families will be expected to occupy one of the four double bedded rooms in the house and share the twin bathroom facilities, kitchen and communal lounge area.

ChildrenChildren are welcomed onto the Trodden Path with their presence being a causative reason for the descent of divine mercy. However, we will be maintaining our strict policy of not allowing children into the designated teaching area whilst classes are in progress. Financial contributions for each child brought are welcomed with guidelines being set at:

Under sevens £50Under fifteens £100

We hope to be able to arrange an informal creche for the duration of the course. The creche will be open up until 5:30 p.m with families thereafter having to supervise their own children. A minimum of five children between the ages of three and ten are needed in order to make the facility viable with families being expected to contribute £50 per child towards the associated costs of running the facility.

Classes and PrayerFormal classes and prayer will be held in the main marquee situated in the square directly in front of the cottages. Some of the smaller classes and group sessions will be held at the Heritage Centre and the Plas.

MealsAll meals with the exception of breakfast will be served at Caffi Meinir Restaurant on site, with students expected to organise their own breakfast in their cottages of residence, with all foodstuffs being provided by the kitchen staff.

It should be noted that the Heritage Centre, Caffi Meinir Restaurant and the lower level of the Plas are all accessible by wheelchair.
